If you’re always in the mood for a funny comedy series that follows the lives of rich and famous, how about sitcoms about stars whose fame has faded away? They were all the rage in Hollywood this spring, and here are three shows about washed-up stars that everyone was raving about.
Girls5Eva
Executive produced by Tina Fey, Girls5Eva focuses on members of a 90s girl group trying to reunite after one of their old songs becomes a surprise hit. Hilarious and super-nostalgic, this series hits all the right notes and its leading ladies are a match made in heaven.
Hacks
Jean Smart’s career experienced a true resurgence in the last few years, and this comedy series gives her a chance to shine in the spotlight. She plays a Las Vegas comedy diva who’s struggling to attract a younger audience and teams up with a millennial writer in an attempt to come up with fresh, new material.
The Kominsky Method
The final season of The Kominsky Method recently premiered on Netflix and the absence of Alan Arkin’s character was strongly felt. Michael Douglas’ titular hero Sandy Kominsky, on the other hand, had another brush with fame after years of working as an acting coach after failing to find success on his own.
